In 1899 France made its first claim to have control over Morocco. The French Foreign Minister of the day, Théophile Delcassé, put his own views very plainly at the time. In December 1900 and again in November 1901, Delcassé won the secret agreement of Italy that Morocco should come under the control of the French Government. However, the issue became public when Delcassé approached Spain over French claims to Morocco. The Spanish government insisted on informing the British government. With the matter now in the public domain, Delcassé was forced to formally approach the British government with his belief that France should take control over Morocco. The British government initially refused to support Delcassé but they changed their minds in April 1904 when the two governments agreed that France could have a mandate over Morocco as long as the French government publicly renounced any remaining interests in Egypt. In October 1904, Delcassé got the agreement of the Spanish government as well after offering Spain territories in the southwest of Morocco.
